ABOUT
THE FOUNDER

Hi! I’m Heather Welch, Founder and CEO of MindFull Wings. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an entrepreneur at heart—selling cherry tomatoes at farmers' markets, dreaming up restaurants in my grandparents' backyard, and always finding creative ways to earn. Along the way, I discovered my passions for education, journalism, history, and government, all of which shaped who I am today.

​

My greatest inspiration has always been my mother, who taught me the value of family, humility, and service. Her wisdom guides me, as does the legacy of my family’s sacrifices, from my great-grandfather in WWI to my grandfather in WWII. Their courage reminds me of the importance of freedom and responsibility.

​

In the fall of 2003 I was introduced to a life-changing strengths assessment, which became the foundation for orchestrating my personal mission. I believe they illuminate our life's purposes. Yes, plural. Not singular. We are too complex as creatures. We have multiple purposes. While I have a deep, personal faith as a Christian, I respect everyone's right to their own beliefs. 

​

I believe in progress through education, the joy of lifelong learning, and the power of idealism. Whether it’s connecting with kids at the MindFull Wings or following my faith, I strive to honor those who came before me while embracing the beauty and purpose of every day. Life is simple: treat others the way we want to be treated. Wouldn’t that solve most of the world’s problems?
